Datasource without connection

Hello,

How can I create datasource from designer but without connection setting?
When I use "New data source" option, designer prompts me to set connection string which I do not want, since I want to use data sources from my application, with RegisterData method.

    I think you will at least have to create a dummy database so the designer can know field names, types, etc.

    Create a databaase that mirrors what you will be creating at run time and point the connection string to that. You might want to put in some dummy data so you can use the preview in the designer to see what your finished report will look like.

    At run time change the datasource to your internal source.


    Hope that helps,

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
